City reject Milan Dzeko link

With City looking set to lodge a bid for Arsenal's Robin van Persie, it would appear manager Roberto Mancini has too many forwards at his disposal. And, following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's big-money move to Paris St Germain, AC Milan are in the hunt for a new striker.

The link, which has also been made to Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov, is an obvious one. And an agent claiming to be acting on behalf of Dzeko has stated that a deal to join Milan had a "70 per cent" chance of going through. But this is news to City, who have never heard of Sead Susic and have not asked anyone to negotiate Dzeko's transfer on their behalf.
